The professor solves the question by answering that the actual weight of the glass filled with water doesn't matter, but what matters how long you hold the glass.
If you hold the glass for a minute, you won't feel much weight. But if you hold it for 10 minutes, then you will feel more weight, as the hours extend the weight icreases.
